main tumhaare liye thahrunga ki shayad aao
aur jab donon pahar milte hon

hum bhi aapas mein milen
jaise ek roz mila karte the

din ke hangame bujhe jate hain
sard hone lagi dhalti hui sham

kashtiyan aa ke kinare se lagin
jhil leti hui mahw-e-aram

ped din bhar ki thakan se bojhal
qurb sarma ki hawa sust-khiram

dil mera bar-ha aaya hai yahan
chal ke us raste se jo un ke gole ki tarah

mere qadmon mein khula jata tha
phir mukhil hote hue patton ki sargoshi mein

ek aawaz ne rah rah ke bulaya tha mujhe
waqt ka hath tahoke se diye jata hai

yun hi chalte raho pichhe ki taraf mat dekho
raat aa jaegi so jaoge

aur jo gunj utha karti hai
dur viranon mein kho jaegi
